The factory configuration file (factory) applies rules to standard input cBase data sets to produce enhanced cBase data sets with measures.
The factory configuration file has the following sections:
- enable-teamer-integration—Enables Teamer collaboration by assigning IDs to the rules and measures.
- current-date—Sets the date to a fixed date or to one retrieved from a file.
- calendars—Defines the calendars that are used to process the Measure Factory.
- time-ranges—Defines rolling month ranges to support time range QuickViews in DivePort.
- lookup-tables—Defines the lookup tables, including columns and keys.
- data-sets—Defines input sources, including the rules to be applied.
- views—Defines an abstraction layer over the rules available in a data set. Often used to indicate which date column a measure uses—also allows you to create aliases for those dates.
- dimensions—Lists cBase columns that are used for factory processing.
- dimension-sets—Groups and names related collections of dimensions, which simplifies later reuse.
- measures—Creates summarization by applying mathematical expressions to a specific set of rule values from a collection of records in one or more data sets.
The following example shows the main sections of a typical factory configuration file with all sections collapsed.
